UAE U20 - News & Discussion

[MOD-MrMoose]

Apologies for the lack of noise on here.

A mixed bag of results (2 wins, 2 losses) mean we need a win today to avoid the drop back down to Div 2.

If anyone is interested in joining our team as an assistant (to learn more about the National side of FTP), please flick me a message.

We remain well within the hunt of a finals berth with 2 wins and a very close (4 run) loss to the undefeated Canada.

The great challenge on day 4 with Australia standing in our way. Wins against AUS and West Indies would sneak us through to the semi.

A two wicket win against Australia gives us our third win of the week!

U20 Group 1 extremely tight going into day 5 with 5 teams mathematically able to win through to the finals. Canada and UAE on 3 wins, AUS, New Zealand and the West Indies all on 2 wins.

Day 5 sees Australia play the winless Ireland, Canada play New Zealand and UAE up against the West Indies.

We ended up 7 runs short of winning our group flawlessly. Take something away knowing the two teams that qualified in our group were the grand finalists.

We go again next season with a new belief that a UAE World Cup is possible thanks to the seniors.

Well FTPs flawless democracy system has landed me another term in charge.

I think most know but this will be my fourth and final term in charge. Two last chances to win a World Cup. Very exciting crop of players coming through!

We will start doing an assessment of the talent pool and planning for this seasons tours.

We have two vacant assistant roles so anyone interested should reach out to me.
